HEY!
Question, what is the smaller historical building to the right of 40 Wall street?
Was it there before it's construction? I ask because I have always wondered if it was the reason 40 had to be shoved where it is, instead of getting the full 'Corner Block'.

this one you mean? if you did mean this it was built in 1842 over the old Congress building from when NYC was the capital of the US

That is the one. I always thought it kept the builders from being able to use the whole corner. Instead the only have a small strip in the front of the builder for getting in and out.
